I love America, an as others feel we are blessed to live in this wonderful country. I have to say I have been on pins and needles all day , scared that something horrible would happen. With the state of the world and the things going on in the Middle East, it makes me wonder and stay apprehensive about the safety of our country.

My dad joined the army at a very young age. He saw some unspeakable atrocities. He shared very little of it with my sister & I as we were growing up. The little he did talk about it made me very sad that he had to witness that to maintain our rights & freedoms. I pray for peace for all people & I'm very thankful for all I have & the rights & freedoms that I enjoy. God bless those who suffered that tragic event. God bless us all. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos as always & for making us pause to remember.

I agree completely and still say prayers for all the families. My son was in the Navy and we are all so blessed to live in such a great country. How are you and Bentley doing in Texas?Is it as hot there 104 as it is here today? will it ever cool down?Susie
